Cindy Craig. Women as Home Decor

About

LAUNCH Gallery is proud to present solo exhibitions by Cindy Craig and Hedy Torres whose work challenges common prejudices, labels and stereotypes. At a time when prevailing headwinds attempt to diminish the hard work, vital importance and human rights of women and immigrants, Cindy and Hedy elevate these vital populations through their poignant, beautiful and often humorous paintings and mixed media creations. This exhibition is a raucous celebration of identity through new works demonstrating originality, complexity and thoughtful reflection.

Cindy Craig’s new paintings depict women who have been silenced or marginalized. In her new series, Women as Home Decor, women wear lampshades to conceal their identities, transforming them into objects rather than human beings. These women are presented as decorations—household objects of beauty, sexual gratification, and fertility.
